i've seen some 914's with a rack on their rear trunk. i want to take mine on vacation later this summer and i need options.

in there you'll see the AMCO rack offered through the VWoA dealer network (VWoA was the original importer of the cars into North America). i doubt many are available NOS anywhere but they do turn up used from time to time. i personally think they look dorky but i'll admit their potential utility. i'd get a spare decklid to mount only when it was actually needed; decent decklids are available for not-a-lot especially if you're close enough to shlep it yourself (they will fit nicely into a VW Rabbit GTI and 924 - done it with both... |

For those interested Yakama makes a nice roof rack for the 914, I have one, and personally tested it at 110 mph with a windsurfer attached.
I have two roofs one without, and one with the rack on it and for quick loading. |

thanks, yea i agree that AMCO looks silly. i think it'll be cool to modify the yak for the back. i don't want to plop a bunch of gear on the top (i'll be topless whenever possible). the angle is a bit rakish, so i'll try to modify the towers to level it out. |
